GET CONNECTED
At OCJ Kids we invite the community to get involved and make a difference in the lives of the Faceless Generation.
Thank you for stopping by to see how you can connect with OCJ Kids. There are several ways you can get connected on different levels.
For more information on getting connected, please contact us or call us at 602-439-2171.
In Home Visitations (Training Required)
Visit with the foster children where they live, in group homes or “mini orphanages”.
People often underestimate the impact they can have on the lives of others. These children are open and eager to seeing a wider view of the world. You have an opportunity to use your passions and interests to impact the life of a child.
At this level, it could lead to working one on one with a particular young person as a mentor or a Life Coach. Give a child the gift of your experience and show them how much you care. Inquire about volunteering for in home visitations.
Volunteer for Big Events
OCJ Kids hosts four big events every year that are designed to help support the young people we serve. Volunteering to help out at these events is a great way to engage with these children and make a huge difference in their lives.

OUR MISSION
Youth are amazing! They hope, dream, challenge, learn and lay the groundwork for their futures and ours. The education, experience and family values instilled in a teen will follow them for the rest of their lives. Every day, youth in society are exposed to unhealthy and unstable futures.
OCJ Kids’ mission is to equip foster and at-risk children and youth by providing them tools, resources, and positive role models to succeed and excel in every area of life.
